A REMARKABLE MAN.

Ono of the most remarkable men in
New Jersey to-day is John I. Blair, of
Blairstown, Warren county, who has just
celebrated his s5th birthday. II is said
his wealth amounts to about twenty mill
lions of dollars. He made it all in wise
speculation in lands, real estate aud rail-
road stocks. He owns railroad or two,
besides several cattle ranches, out West,
and in his native State he is the proprie-
tor of several large farms and other vaIu-
able property. A reporter wrote him up
one time and stated that his wealth was
as high as that just mentioned. Mr..
Blair met him one day afterward and
said to him, 81 will take an action for IL
bel against you" "What for, y asked the
reporter. "For putting me down as be-
ing worth twenty millions. Why IL oil
my houses and lands, farming imple-
ments, stocks, bonds and mortgages were
computed ! would only have fifteen mill
lions, was the rejoinder Of Mr.. Blair.
He ran for Governor In New Jersey
against Theodore +. Randolph, in 1868,
and was defeated. Since then Mr.. Blair
has not taken an active part In politics.
Hc has always, however, been a liberal
giver during important State campaigns.
He has given magnificent sums to Prince
ton and Lafayette Colleges, and promises
to endow them still further in the future.
On the whole John I. Blair has been any
thing else bat bad man. He gives gen
erously to the poor and needy. and he is
well liked by those who know him best.

CONCLUSION.
The shares Of the Tortilita Company are being
taken all over the country for investment by
bankers, merchants, farmers mechanics and labor
ing men and women. They can only be bought
now by private subscription, and those wishing TO
purchase will do well 10 send In their orders at
once. as the books will soon close preparatory to
calling the stock on the board. The shares can
now be bought at par in any sized lots from one
share to 5000 direct from the company's Office,
No. 81 Broadway, and r. J. Dean d Co., Bankers.
302 Greenwich street, New York.
II Is believed that the Tortillta is one of tho
soundest and best mining enterprises yet brought
TO the attention Of the public and that those who
invest In II VIII reap handsome returns. They are
at least sure Of q safe investment and good diyi-
dends
There is but portion of the stock for sale. and
that Is for the purpose fputting up the additional
machinery required.--Ne,o York Star.

According to the special reports OF the
commercial agencies the tendency of
prices during the past week has been up
ward for most products, and the state of
business is rather better, but there is
still more hesitation and irregularity.
The volume of legitimate business is
large, but not equally distributed, and in
important branches there is o shrinkage.
Wheat has been going abroad largely
$3.50 $40 bushels in three weeks against
1881, l07 last year-but mainly on pur-
chases of one or two months ago, and the
export demand has been so checked by
improved foreign crop reports, but the
stimulus given to manufacturing in the
South and West is calculated to find O
home market to supply its place. Inas-
much as the foreign trade of this country
is but a fraction Of the amount of her
home commerce, the growth of home in
dustry is regarded as Of far more import
ance than the foreign demand for sur
plus product.

Pierre Birrla and Angeliquo de Bouton
have Teen married in st. Louis. Tho
wedding was one OF the most romf ntic
that has ever taken placein that city.
Pierre Blrrla was born In Saba, Italy,
in 1876; emigrated to France lew years
later and to this country at the COM
men ement of the war. throughout
which he served on the Union side, at
present receiving pension for wounds
received in service. Before coming to
America he lost his first wife, whom he
had married In France.
At the close OF the war. already verg-
ing on old age he settled down on tho
same block where he now lives, and
soon after met the Widow do Bouton,
who also came from France and whose
matured charms OF half century's
nourishment captlvated the still ardent
affections of the old soldier, who Inn
med;ately began courtship which has
ut last been crowned with success and
the widow.
The old lady's maiden namo was
Angelique Roschelle. and she was born in
Brittany, France, emigrating to this
country with her first husband few
years before her present husband crossed
the water.
The old couple were very demonstra-
tive In their affection, Mmo. Birrla In
sisting that " It was better to marry
twice than to die once"

twenty seconds duration, but the fun OF

The powder into his right palm, spat on

around to see II he was observed, he
rubbed the moistened powder on his
face and hands, and then dust-coated
the war paint.
